I don’t know about you but I absolutely LOVE to decorate for Halloween – I love the bold colors, the pumpkins and the chance to have fun with different patterns. Today I am sharing how to make this fun DIY Halloween Wood Bead Garland. These colorful and festive beads were so fun to decorate and easy to make, too. And in fact, you could use them for a necklace or bracelet, too!

Step 1: Separate your beads into groups for each color you have chosen. (I had 21 beads total and used 7 beads of each color -orange, black and white). Slide the bead onto a skewer for better handling while painting.

Paint your bead and then slide the off the skewer onto your plate to dry. Repeat this step for all of your beads. I used a different brush for each color.

Step 2: Place the beads onto a skewer and decorate your beads with alternating colors and patterns. I used a Qtip to dab circles and draw lines. (You could also use a Sharpie marker or other embellishments.)
